“…Similarly, on the surgical side, some of the major European societies involved in BC surgical training, research, education, and advocacy recently developed the BRESO (Breast Surgical Oncology Project): a widely endorsed attempt to enhance and harmonize breast surgery training across Europe by means of a structured, high-level, multidisciplinary training and certification [14,15]. E-learning programs can play a significant role facilitating distance learning, as they may overcome some of the difficulties seen with traditional learning and training by allowing flexibility in time, place, and pace, for both the clinically working trainee and educator.…”

Multidisciplinary blended learning to build a breast cancer specialist career: survey on the perspective of the first 2 cohorts of the ESO-ULM Certificate of Competence in Breast cancer (CCB)

et al. 2022

Background Breast Cancer (BC) specialists need to acquire comprehensive knowledge, covering their own specialty and principles of related disciplines. Blended learning, the integration of online and face-to-face learning, is becoming more and more important in academic education and has added value during pandemics which limit face-to-face learning and residential training. In this context, the ESO-ULM Certificate of Competence in Breast Cancer (CCB) provides postgraduate multidisciplinary education and delivers an academic postgraduate title. The aim of this work is to investigate the degree of satisfaction of 42 participants to the first two editions of the programme and to assess if attending the programme entailed any professional gain. Methods An ad-hoc questionnaire was developed exploring 4 areas: participants’ characteristics, administrative aspects, CCB Program syllabus and design, professional impact. Results The program was attractive for specialists of different disciplines from all over the world: > 90% of responders appreciated the curriculum set up and the quality of the teaching. Despite 64% of responders changed their clinical practice, only 33% could implement institutional changes. One third of the participants activated a collaboration with other colleagues and 64% used the CCB as a trigger to take part in other educational activities. Only 12% of the participants had the opportunity, after CCB, to visit other BC Units or to be involved in international research projects. More than half of the attendees profited from attending CCB in terms of promotions (16.7%), change of working institution (9.5%) or development of a more structured educational program at their home institutions (28.6%). Conclusions Results provide interesting and stimulating considerations on the expectations and needs of training physicians and on what modern educational tools and formats can achieve. This paper can provide useful information to navigate through what the post-graduate training market is currently offering to develop a specific curriculum in modern multidisciplinary BC care but might not be applicable to other fields of multidisciplinary oncology.

“…We need to devise a structured curriculum, and national BC societies should play a more prominent role to achieve this goal. European experts conducted a similar exercise recently to define the breast surgery training curriculum in European countries [ 4 , 16 ]. The training should be equivalent and organ-specific to empower clinicians offering modern breast surgeries as per available resources.…”

“…The "general" surgical oncologist has become an near obsolete entity due to the pragmatic phenomenon of further differentiation and specialization in many centres and regions. For example, breast cancer care has become the field of breast cancer specialists and in some countries breast surgeons have moved away from national surgical oncology societies (5) and hepatobiliary and pancreatic surgery has become a focused area for surgeons only performing procedures in this very specific anatomical site with a need for tailored training curricula (6)(7)(8). However, despite this there are still huge variations in practice and discrepancies in training, both within Europe and worldwide (9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15).…”
